Being A Good Friend

WALT: explain to your reader what being a good friend means


Friends are the people in your life that treat you differently, they make you laugh, they make you cry, but when it comes to friends they're always by your side. Life isnt easy your always gonna get knocked down but remember you’re friends will be there to lift you back up and keep going.


Finding friends isnt easy but in a few years of life you’ll find the perfect ones. They could be tall or they could be short but no matter who they are they’ll always support you, especially when you’re going through rough times. Some of your friends can be a bit unusual but that doesn’t matter, what matters is on the inside not the outside.


When you have friends you don't talk about them behind their backs, and you certainly don’t mock them just to show off in front of others because if you do or have done that nobody would want to be friends with you. If you don’t have friends you’ll never make it through life, you could be all alone because of the stupid mistakes you made as a kid.


The best qualities to find in a friend is respect and honesty. If you want a real friend one thats nice and friendly look for the respectful ones, the ones that listen to the teachers and do the right things on their chromebooks. Honesty is another one, people that tell you the truth or more importantly the ones that don't lie to their parents just because they don't want to do what they say. Honesty is always the best policy.


Friendship is the hardest thing in the world to explain, its not something you learn in school, or something that you parents taught you. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship then you never had any real friends.

Being Fit.

Dictation
Did you know your body is an amazing machine? It just needs to be used everyday to keep it working well.


Exercise keeps your body strong and fit. Fitness means having the energy to work, play, and do all the things you want to do easily. Your body can not store fitness, so you need to exercise regularly to stay fit.


Exercise makes you feel and look better. It keeps your body a healthy weight, it helps you relax and sleep better, and when you exercise your body produces chemicals called indorthams which go to your brain and make you feel good.


Exercise for strength makes your muscles stronger so you can work different parts of your body without feeling weak. Exercise for stamina makes your heart and lungs stronger, and helps blood flow easily around your body. Stamina is the ability to exercise for longer without getting tired or out of breath.


So you need to move it!

Capitals

Capitals - what are they and when do you use them in writing?


WALT: Write an explanation telling people what capital letters are and when you use them in writing.



People often don’t use capital letters when they are writing emails or other messages, but it’s important to use them in stories and newspaper articles because when other people read your work they want to see tidy and quality work.


Capital letters start the beginning of names, so for example. My name is Elisabeth. The capitals are used in names because when you write your name on paper some people usually forget to use capitals.


Capital letters have to be used when you write I, I’m, I’ll and lots more. Its important to do that because its makes your writing look tidy. Its also important because when people see that you use capital I's they will know that you are a proper kid and take writing seriously.


Capital letters are also for the days of the week. Monday has a capital in it because it’s similar to a month. It’s similar to months because their both dates. People usually use capitals like this. On Thursday my cousin is coming over to my house.
  • Monday
  • Tuesday
  • Wednesday
  • Thursday
  • Friday
  • Saturday
  • Sunday



The names of cities and countries have capitals in the too. This is an example for how to use capitals in these kind of sentences. Next week me and my family are going to Brisbane, Australia to see my sister. Here are a few countries and cities.

  • Auckland
  • Christchurch
  • New Zealand
  • Australia
  • Perth
  • Brisbane
  • Sydney
  • And many more

There are many more reasons why people use capitals. I hope you learned something new and remember KEEP USING CAPITALS!
